  1. My wife has gotten really good at sniffing that kind of thing out. Me: Oh, hey. We gotta stop at ____________. I've heard it's really good. Her: People on the internet told you that didn't they? She has at least learned that the internet tends to give me good advice about this kind of shit
  2. I was actually on my way to Tucson. I probably listened to Willin’ 30 times in those two days.
  3. The only Alsup’s burrito I’ve ever had was from the one in Tucumcari
  4. Yeah exactly. If the Big 10 and SEC wanted any more of those schools they could take them any day.
  5. Love me some Rand McNally
  6. Washington State and Oregon State just got relegated. It comes down to money. If TV wants a super exclusive super league, it’s going to happen. 2/3rds of the Big 10 and half the SEC are Big 12 and ACC level programs getting subsidized by the blue bloods. They are “leaches” much like the I8 have been called time and time again on this board. If they aren’t relegated they’ll be forced to take a lesser share, which will narrow the gap between them and the B12/ACC. In this era of insatiable greed, one of these outcomes seems inevitable.
  7. Almost everyone in the Big 12 and ACC will have a far better chance of making the playoff than Purdue or Mississippi State ever will, even in such an arrangement. I think the bottom half SEC and Big 10 schools are quietly becoming major losers in all of this. Yes, they'll get big checks and get to brag about being in the wealthy conference, but they're just well-compensated versions of the Washington Generals going forward. Until maybe one day they aren't. With this unstoppable greed train, it seems impossible that Ohio State and Michigan will never tire of floating the Purdues of the world.
  8. That episode wasn't the weakest of the season at all, IMO. Definitely better than the Disgruntled one.
  9. I think you just answered part of your own question. On top of that, Moser is a Midwest guy. My guess is when he came to Norman he thought they were staying in the Big 12 and he'd be able to play and recruit in that footprint quite a bit and build OU basketball back into a thing that mattered on an annual basis. The move to the SEC cuts OU off from playing more Midwestern schools and puts Moser in a situation where his recruiting connections don't have any overlap with where he's actually playing the games. Now going back for DePaul? Yeesh. That job is shit. Yeah, they're in the Big East, but they don't have an on campus arena, and Chicago is not a college sports town. @ChiTownDoc can probably add more accuracy here, but I'd imagine that in the Chicago college basketball pecking order, DePaul is somewhere behind Illinois, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Loyola, and maybe even Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Indiana.
  10. They’re already trying to overhype SEC basketball to pump their pet product
  11. Go Dogs (have second degree from Drake)
  12. This one is excellent too
  13. Forgot how good Dangerous Man (Minneapolis) was
  14. That definitely changed my mood. Should serve as wake up to quit trying to play hero ball in half court sets. Maybe if they get to the semis next week
  15. What a fucking pathetic effort. Just pissed away a huge opportunity
  16. We have everything to play for and all they have is spoiling our title bid. If I wasn’t having to parent, I’d be breaking shit in the garage
  17. It’s not a Belgian Farmhouse. it is really good.
  18. It begs the question "on what day did God create Spinal Tap and couldn't he have rested that day?".
  19. My wife will likely hit menopause when our daughter is a teenager. There's a reason when we bought our current home, I sought out a house that has an "extra" space separate from the main house that's heated and has room for a bar.
  20. I think it has a lot to do with Joe Montana just slamming the entire thing a few years back. I think he said that it's totally fabricated and that the rest of the team kinda hated Rudy, so for this to become a movie was completely eye rolling to them.
  21. I can assure you those frozen appendages came from bodies with barely functioning livers
  22. A rabid Iowa homer on Des Moines sports radio was going on about how ISU got routinely jobbed by the officials for "36 out of 40 minutes" (his words). He's diplomatic to ISU at best, and if you ever listen to his Locked On Iowa pods, he lets it be known that he loathes ISU. It's funny how fans can look at the same thing and come to two wildly different conclusions. Especially in basketball.
  23. I'm stealing this from something I saw on Instagram, but sacrificing body parts for NFL success is some peak Midwest shit.
  24. I will gladly trade the admiration of opposing fans for an undefeated home slate any day.
